I don't think I don't need to illustrate the set as I give a "representative" example of the stamp and design for WW collectors, in order for them to familiarize themselves with the classical era issues.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024632082262694589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-77070679928680831232016-02-12T10:37:04.555-08:002016-02-12T10:37:04.555-08:00Hello.

As you mention that Scott has no reference I checked Yvert & Tellier. They do not have a reference to the stationary either. They do have a reference though to what they call 'tirage sur bristol avec dentelure figuree'. Which translates to 'printing on bristol with printed perforation'. Bristol being a kind of - somewhat thicker - paper. I googled this and it would seem that in 1900 all issues for France and its colonies from 1876 on were reprinted in this fashion for the Musee Postal in Paris so that they could provide a complete overview. Possibly for the large international exposition that was held in Paris that year. Only a few prints were made that were to be reserved for the museum. Of course a number ended up in the hands of collectors. Although one might have to call these issues cinderellas they are apparently highly looked after - by those with a somewhat larger budget. Thought I'd share this with you. When you google 'tirage sur bristol' you will see examples for sale. <br /><br />GerbenGerben van Gelderhttp://www.stampworldhistory.comnoreply@blogger.com
